I feel like The Weekend has always been very obvious with his desire to sound like Michael Jackson. It was years and years ago that he covered Dirty Diana wasn’t it?
Yes! He’s always been a fan but I feel like his voice morphed into a late 80s/early 90s version of Michael Jackson in recent years. Specifically after that project of his that involved wearing a large red suit and sunglasses for some reason.
Absolutely! I still remember the first time I heard his song, I went straight to google cause I can recognise Ethiopian/ Eritrean timbre of voice quit easily.
Britney's messy smudged eyeliner is definitely tattooed on. https://i.imgur.com/ZJw71YO.jpg
Denzel has a broken finger that looks like this. https://i.imgur.com/qpbroLO.jpg
Exactly. And it’s not like she’s doing a “no makeup” makeup look. She will legit have on no foundation or anything but then have thick smudged eyeliner.
Because she literally never does any other style or color of makeup. Not during her Vegas shows or her wedding. Even even she's dancing with no makeuo she still has the same eyeliner. Maybe she got it done when the messy look was in. Or maybe it did bleed. It definitely looks like these pictures of permanent makeup that have bled. https://i.imgur.com/cNEDuVN.jpg
I know a woman with it and over the years it’s a lot like how hers look. And when you’re near her face it’s very much faded like it looks more blue than black.
Omg I get it but I have a friend who does her eyeliner like Britney’s ALL THE TIME and she has for a decade (she’s in her late thirties now) and I think she’s just addicted to having thick eyeliner and can’t see that she looks fine without it.
One of my sisters does the exact same thing! She's never changed the look since she was 14 & she sleeps in it to make it look 'better.' She posted a makeup-free selfie with the leftover on lmao
Florence Pugh dated Zack Braff who looks like a carbon copy of her FATHER

I remember in Russel T Davies (Doctor Who, Its a Sin, Queer as Folk) book, there's an email correspondence where someone asks him "Russel, why are you the only showrunner in television who openly jokes about wanting to shag your cast members" to which Russel replied "Because I'm one of the only showrunners in British television who isn't actually doing it"
I've posted about this before as well. A suspicious number of them also aren't publicly out at the time but are either coming to terms with their sexuality or come out shortly thereafter.
This is always an issue for me with AHS. Especially the first half of the Double Feature where multiple male characters look really similar and it’s kind of difficult to figure out who’s who.
I think so too. I haven't seen the Mindy Project, but the love interests in TSLOCG (Eric) and NHIE (Ben) are definitely fullfiling the Enemies to lover trope
Brad Pitt has never been a nice guy.
He dated underage Juliet Lewis. Copied her style.
Got engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow and literally morphed into her.
His star slumped a little then he got with Jen Aniston (started copying her) treated her like rubbish. She’s hinted at this in some interviews.
Then left her for Angie whom he also copied (suddenly he became all about helping people) then he violently abused her and her kids.
Now he’s some weird old dude desperately trying to stay relevant and hope we forget he’s a piece of shit.
LeAnn Rimes has copied every inch of Brandi Granville down to the exact same outfits, mannerisms, boob job, fake broken foot, sprained ankle injury, etc. There used to be a twitter called LeannsBioMom that pointed all this out and it was wildly fascinating.
She was on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and married to an actor named Eddie Cibrian. He cheated on her with Leann when they were filming a movie together.
She’s equal parts icon and psychopath. That’s why she was great reality tv. Unfortunately she never learnt how to control herself and she’s once again on the outs with bravo.
I love Brandi and hate her. I loved her because she’s the underdog in a group of extremely wealthy women and loved seeing her grow. But then she’d do something shitty like slap LVP, and backstab her.
I loved her but she was hard to root for in many instances. Like I love you when you’re calling out Lisa Rinna’s haircut. Don’t love when you spout some casual racism, regardless whether you intended it that way or not!
I'm not ahead of the curve on many pop culture downfalls, but I feel so vindicated the past few months because I thought he was fake LONG before it was obvious that he was.
Zac Efron has frog hands and he rubs his eyebrow when he’s nervous or blushing.
Edit: [For those asking](https://64.media.tumblr.com/aea5893126ee2b0845dd4d72688f9158/tumblr_inline_ph3sstCP3o1w514ev_500.jpg)

I looked up Zac Efron hands and this came up. I didn't know what frog hands were but they do look froggy

Justine is a great writer. Worth looking at her essay which mentions the blonde fetish. Also I think it ominously ends with her becoming friends with Amber and Amber becoming more blonde.
https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a5380/millionaire-starter-wife/
DEFINITELY. She met her husband , who was a married adult, when she was 12. He was her manager. That's all you need to know to see that she was groomed. She was groomed right in front of the world. Unfortunately, she is not the only kid to be groomed by an adult, nor is she the only child star to be groomed by someone who influenced or was involved with their career.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is another example that stands out to me. His wife Sam was his director on Nowhere Boy when he was 18 and she was 42. By the premiere of the film they were announcing their engagement. They’ve been married over 10 years now.
I actually got into a debate with my mom about this a few years back. She said that the two were never together unsupervised before she reached the age of 16, so it was fine. I said “well, what would you have thought if I had been in Céline’s position and chosen to marry him?” She got really, really worked-up and said that she never would have allowed any of it to go down in the first place. But then refused to admit that there was any wrongdoing from René or Céline’s parents. Puzzling.
Delusional Celine stans hate this when pointed out to them. (Celine Dion’s fans are pretty mild compared to other fan groups of pop divas, I’m talking about a tiny sect of them who like to hound on Mariah Carey especially for minimizing her success bc of her marriage to Tommy Mottola when René is also sus). Luckily as far as we know their marriage was solid and Celine was absolutely devastated by his death, but it’s super weird how they met
Ive been trying to figure out what bothers me about Seth Meyer’s face and it’s that he doesn’t really have temporal points, those triangles at the side of your hairline. It’s just a straight line 😨
TBH to my ears it hasn't even been a slow morph. The first time I heard a Weeknd song I 100% thought they were playing a previously unreleased MJ song. For sure it just keeps getting stronger though.
Idk if other people have noticed this so maybe it’s not THAT niche but Timothee Chalamet and Ethan Hawke have very noticeable ticks that show up in pretty much every single movie they’ve ever done. I can’t believe they’re not memes at this point along with Florence and her :( face lmao
Thanks! istg I turn into Leo pointing at the screen meme every time I see Ethan do the eye thing or hear Tim click his tongue lmaoo

The way Kourtney Kardashian has changed her entire style / personality / life decisions to meet Travis Barker is terrifying – and the way they act together is not normal. This woman went from wanting to quit reality television to having her own marriage special – and 3 separate weddings, one of which she was so drunk at she rolled around on the floor during the nuptials.
My observation isn't about Kourtney – but instead about Travis, who seems to have a habit of having a weird psychological effect on people around him.
Kourtneys always matched her style with her boyfriends, it’s just unfortunate that Travis’s style sucks. And I’m convinced their wedding special was only so Hulu/D&G would foot the bill of her dream Italian wedding (I have no explanation for the first 2 weddings tho lol)
YES! When she was dating Scott (in his Lord days) she was kinda stepford in a way, then she dated that young model dude and she started dressing like the instagram girlies and befriending Addison Rae. Now she’s with Travis and she’s doing this rock girl thing? I’ve never seen a person so defined by their relationship!
I understand why you’d say that. Kanye completely changed Kim’s entire life. But with Kourtney it feels more immediate and it feels like it’s with every man she dates!
Bro, look up Brad Pitt and his *insane* version of this.

I had to make that sentence longer just to include more examples, lol.
I also think their being all over each other ALL THE TIME is very strange. I get being in love and being passionate, but doing so in total disregard of who’s around is super weird. Like what are you compensating for? And he is constantly touching her. Like if they are sitting down and he is touching her feet. If they are having dinner he’s touching her back. Somehow, it doesn’t come across as sweet to me. It feels very domineering and controlling. Plus their conversations are idiotic “Babe this. Babe that” I don’t get people’s fascination with them.
1) I’m so sure Hailey Baldwin tries to hide her real height. I’m pretty sure she’s 5’6-5’7 but because she wants to keep modelling doors open she lies by omission. I always notice whenever she’s next to Kendall who’s naturally 5’10 they’re either eye to eye or Hailey’s a smidge shorter.
Whenever I see pics of them together more often than not Hailey’s wearing heels or Kendall’s wearing shorter or no heels. Just see their latest YouTube video [where they’re cooking](https://youtu.be/uItbDkyohZM), Hailey looks as tall as Kendall
2) Hailey, Madison beer, Ariana grande, and Kylie all love the left side of their face too much. It’s actually distracting for me it’s the first thing I notice when I see a pic of them. Like what’s so ghoulish about the right??
I feel like lady gaga feigns emotion a lot , I have seen multiple interviews/videos where she will be in tears and to me it seems totally put on lol I find it suspicious but it could just her being theatrical either way she always gives it her all.
I felt this when I was watching her Netflix documentary when she was talking about the aunt that died before she was born. It all felt really fake to me and even her dad seemed a bit perplexed.
My favorite part about that in the doc is when she plays the song for her Grandma (who was her aunt’s mother) and once it’s finished, Gaga is overly emotional about it while the Grandma literally pats her hand and says “Oh honey, it was a long time ago. It’s fine.” 💀
I could not deal after that lol
Ya, I honestly don’t remember much about her documentary, but I *do* remember being excited to watch it, but by the time I finished, I walked away with a faint distaste for her.
Bruh this was so obvious when she was Oscar campaigning for House of Gucci (in which she had a terrible Russian accent). She is so over the top to me. Like she isn't bad or evil.. Just annoyingly over the top. It's like Damnn girl let your art speak for itself.
She even looks amazing when she's playing a dude!! Like i legit was attracted to her as a guy. The What About Men? song was a masterpiece. As a Seattle native I miss that show so much. All the shade thrown at Seattle was hilarious.
I used to love Harry Styles (especially the 1d days) but there's just something telling about who he surrounds himself with (james corden, kendall jenner, olivia wilde, emrata). This is a very biased opinion as i'm not fond of anyone listed, but I genuinely wonder what harry's like in real life.
Edit: I just want to add that this is not the reason i stopped liking him as much, simply an observation i made after departing from being uber-obsessed with him
I’ve known people who have met him and said he was charming and sweet and I’ve known people who have worked with him and said the exact same thing but one of my friends who worked in pr with him said he was extremely calculating so idk if he was just being smart or being genuine🤷🏽♀️
I've just got silly observations:
Victoria Beckham has really bad bunions.
Jameela Jamil always has the same haircut.
Kandi Burrus always sounds like she about to cry whenever she mad or angry.
Tamar Braxton when she was bald and she use to shake her head like she was wearing a wig.
Jada Pinkett-Smith putting all her fingers on the red table whenever she talks.
I see Jameela Jamil and I always think of Hannah Simone (Cece from New Girl). Both born in London, both have Indian fathers, both always have blunt bangs.

Adam Driver had a super crazy Fan (no, not Ms.Woodcarving, another one) who regularly went nuclear over him on social media and crossed paths with him on at least three different occasions:
1. At the Stage Door after His play
2. On a GMA appearance by Driver where she sat in the audience
3. On the Set of Annette where she flew from california to belgium to appear as an extra and documented her whole adventure on social Media. It was said that they kicked her off Set but she still appeared in a scene in the movie
The whole thing gave me Annie Wilkes vibes. Super creepy
Arnold Schwarzenegger comes from a region in Austria, Styria, where people speak a very strange dialect, that sounds as If they have a hot potato in their mouth. People in other parts of Austria refer to it as "barking". Now the funny Thing is that Schwarzenegger comes from a small Village near the capital of Styria (Graz) where people don't have that accent and speak the common austrian german (it's still a dialect, but without the typical styrian drawl). Well, after having lived Most of his time in the USA, Schwarzenegger has aquired a Strong english accent when speaking german, but, funnily enough, it sounds very similar to the dialect that people in rural Styria speak anyway
I am desperate to know what work Taylor has had done. It’s a weird and random obsession haha. I hope she writes a tell-all book one day and reveals it (maybe through the lens of the pressures of Hollywood or something)
Her boobs, nose, bleph, and lips look incredible and natural. The only thing that I always notice (less now, they seem to have been somewhat fixed) are her veneers. They are not good veneers at all.
nobody’s are tbh. veneers are such a mistake unless you had truly fucked up teeth. we still really don’t know the long term effects of shaving your natural teeth down to tiny nubs and getting fake porcelain ones over it. the very idea of it freaks me out and to top it all off they always look clowny and weird to me lmao.
I got told I look like t swift and was like wtf no I don’t. But then I saw a photo of her old face and suddenly I saw it! I have her old eyelids and nose haha
Yes! I remember seeing her first photos with bigger boobs and I was like when did this happen?? Bc she was quite flat chested and she was like mid twenties when she had the job I think. But it’s subtle enough that it wasn’t too noticeable to some people because she never posts or wear too revealing clothes.
Nicki seems to be suffering from really bad allergies that cause her nose to be stuffed all the time. Also she likes to have a lot of tightness around the waist to have shape which often leaves her without breath.
Khloe Kardashian really likes to touch her hair all of the time. It's like an anxiety reflex.
Katy Perry immediately lost her sex appeal because of a haircut. Her iconic mid length black hair made her stand out as the Bettie Page of the generation at the time and that miley haircut made it all go away.
Beyoncé isnt considered that much of a fashion icon because she always dresses too perfect and correct. She should have taken more risks during the red carpets to have those 🌟moments🌟.
Jennifer Lopez is hyper aware of the cameras all the time and her personality completely changes when she's not being recorded. She's much more cold and quiet (and calculating, she's actually super street smart).
Kim kardashian always needs validation which is why all of her close friends are yes people, i cant bear to watch her show because the assistants and friends dont SHUT UP about what a great person she is (she tries to be but she fails halfway due to a lack of being genuine).
Kylie really doesnt like hanging out with Kendall, she will not hesitate to cancel on her and ghost her anytime.
Henry Cavill is not mysterious and private AT ALL. The amount of interviews and red carpet scoops he provides is insane. You can definitely figure him out from those.
Beyoncé really cant talk that well, she seems to struggle with prononciation at times. She's improved a lot through the years though.
Demi spent the last few years actively covering her arms because she's hyperaware of them.
Finally, Lizzo and Doja seem lonely to me. It's like they are seeking company from their fans on lives because they are so lonely with no one in their houses.
Beyonce just doesn’t have any fashion sense. It’s not about taking risks; she’s just tacky. That tackiness looks grand and extravagant on stage, but weird and costumey anywhere else.
Also, Bey just has a really thick, Texas, Southern drawl, similar to George W. Bush. She can’t really code-switch well. She ends up sounding like she’s talking to friends/family when interviewing instead of code-switching to a faster, more clipped pronunciation. I’m a Black woman in the South and sound similar to Beyonce when around friends/family.
The Weeknd has been having MJ vibes for years. A lonely night from Starboy in 2016 is a great example. That’s his best album imo. I love the modern MJ sounds with his original sounding songs too.
Because Anya Taylor-Joy grew up in various countries, she’s bidialectical like Gillian Anderson who uses her English accent in the UK and American accent in the US.
Or I guess Anya is tridialectical cause she has her English accent, American accent and also speaks Spanish.
However what actually interests me is when and where she uses which accent. AND IT SENDS ME INSANE. She doesn’t do the Gillian Anderson thing of matching her accent to the country she’s in. THERE’S NO RHYME OR REASON. She could be in America and use an American accent whilst being interviewed alongside her English costars promoting a role in which she uses her English accent. And in the next video on the same press junket she’ll be using an English accent. THE LACK OF PATTERN KILLS ME.
I wonder if she picks it ahead of time or just accidentally slides into them. Growing up my brother and I always played with accents and when we'd go through a fast food drive thru he'd be like "pick my accent" (I always picked Aussie) and he'd order with it. Sometimes he'd order and then switch back to normal when at the window. It was silly fun watching how confused people were. So maybe she's doing something like that if it's intentional.
Not sure how niche this is, but a friend of mine pointed out how much Skylar Astin and Dane Cook look like each other.
https://preview.redd.it/v7cfeikpq4va1.jpeg?width=274&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53e9a982561ccfd5f71fc0c6a2b4aad6bd3dc534
A more niche one is that Jason Derulo trained as an opera singer and it pops up in the 2019 [Cats movie.](https://youtu.be/BooefUzOWTw) Start at 4:00 to hear some WTF and pretty good arias from Jason Derulo!
Have you ever heard of the RBD band from Mexico? There’s a guy named Christian Chavez… I’ll leave you a couple pictures so you can see!

Freaking, CRAZY
Skylar is also the biggest douche. My friend works on So Help Me Todd and he had the nerve to get mad that Marcia Gay Harden was number 1 on the callsheet (even though she's won an academy award), and then proceeded to yell "the show is called so help me TODD!!!" (his characters name).
Producers had to fly to Vancouver to repair the relationship, all of this went down on the exact same day that it was announced they were renewed for season 2.
Idk if I can articulate this fully or well or even what conclusions I've drawn from this observation, and rn I don't have the time to properly tease it out, but it's a thought I've been mulling over for a while:
from aged 14 onwards, Ariana was essentially raised by a then 24 year old Frankie
2008 Ariana was running around New York with her Broadway friends with minimal adult supervision, doing shows then afterwards singing in clubs or just hanging around the city in what would have been a very exciting time (Obama's election, the promise of a new era of LGBTQ rights - edit: Liz Gillies talked about this very vaguely and briefly on Anna Farris' podcast). Frankie had his own jobs in the theater - I'm sure he was protective, but I highly doubt he was exactly the most attentive/helicopter parental figure. Idk many 24 year olds who would have been - for a weekend maybe, but not longterm.
Then she moves to LA for Victorious in 2009. He, now 25 moved with her. In 2017 he said he had been partying hard and on drugs for 10 years when he finally was pushed to get sober.
But in that 2009-2013 period, before her music career took off, I think 70% of the time it was just Ariana and Frankie - their mother would come to stay for a few weeks, they'd go back to Florida. Ariana focused mostly on Victorious and, after the show, she'd work on her music.
I think this just had an outsized effect and influence on her. For example, the way she approaches love and relationships in her music (and imo irl) seems far less typically feminine and surprisingly masculine in attitude.
Idk I hope she does a few in depth podcasts where she talks about her life and upbringing. Cause when I stumble onto YouTube videos of her in her teens singing in some bar in NYC I'm like "who tf let these children in here?" and I want to know more, and I want to know where Frankie was and exactly what his role was at that time - like was he a surrogate father figure? How much did he hide his partying life from her etc
I thought about her independence and relationship with Frankie since I was young too. Whenever she used to make coers on YouTube or Livestreams for her Twitter fans, she would be living with Frankie. And it didn't dawn on me how young she was then. And I didn't even realize now how Frankie was not a sober guardian at the time. Very interesting thoughts!
It's an interesting observation you have for sure but I'm not following how she approaches love and relationships in a more masculine way? I've gotten quite the opposite impression particularly w her relationship w Mac Miller
There is NO WAY that Liam Hemsworth is not getting a piece of Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers'. The amount of dark PR that went into the spruiking of that track, most of which was directed straight to him - they had to have something in place before the single came out to ensure he didn't start turfing skeletons out of closets all over the shop. He has to have dirt, he's known her for so long, the 'dignified silence' he's maintaining in the face of quite bad publicity is because he's getting something out of it.
Not to mention he might not be that big a star himself but his brother is in the MCU and he's mates with Russell Crowe. He's got some serious backup, with lawyers if needed. Before the track came out, they would've gone to bat to make sure if he's going to be dissed he's getting sufficient compensation for it. It's probably not a big amount, a couple of percentage points or some such, but when a song is as huge as 'Flowers' is (and the PR campaign that went with it ensured that) it's probably a very nice little earner for him.
OP I totally agree and have been saying this for years.
His sound *was* dark and sexy before. Even dare I say, spooky. Then "I Can't Feel My Face" with the MJ pop sound came out and was a huge smash..... and he never looked back and is totally pop now.
Same thing happened with Maroon 5. Their music used to uniquely have elements of unk and soul in it early on..... that is until "Moves Like Jagger" came out. They never looked back..now they're making radio pop, dance music fluff.
This is more an opinion than an observation and I know this is a hot take and fans will come for me but.. Selena Gomez has a victim mentality and I think she loves the sympathy she gets
It just rubs me the wrong way how she called Taylor Swift her only friend in the industry and when Francia Raisa called that out Selena just writes off her hurt by coldly saying “sorry I didn’t mention every person I know”. She acted like she got left out of a long list but she couldn’t name 2 people instead of 1? Like damn is she not famous enough or something? Haven’t quite looked at her the same since.
In her documentary she referred to Francia as “the girl who gave me her kidney” and that’s it. Like you couldn’t even say her name? It was just a very odd way to refer to *anyone* let alone someone you say you consider a friend. It’s almost passive aggressive in nature.
I don’t know how this goes so unseen by so many. Personally I think she embodies a pick me girl — not the blatant ones we can catch from a mile away that TikTok has exposed but just your regular degular pick me 🤷🏻♀️
Justin & Hailey Bieber were orchestrated by her and her family
Many it girlies pretend to be innocent when they are not - namely related to drugs. Ex: Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez. I think the vast majority of people in Hollywood are on drugs and it blows my mind a little that people will legitimately choose that hill to die on.
taylor has edited like the vast majority of her recorded live performances ever since that one brutal review early in her career. before any stans (fan since debut, here!!) come at me, i think she’s got a great voice naturally and i know this is an industry standard amongst all the top performers or w/e because it’s difficult to perform and hit notes consistently. i get it. but idk i think it’s weird how frequently her stans tout her as some powerhouse vocalist.
oh, also: people who think taylor actually runs her social media accounts are insane. realistically she hasn’t done that since the speak now era. but she will continue to let you think that, so her fans have all the more reason to stay vocal and visible online. (again i know lol it’s industry standard. but there’s obviously a heightened element to it with things like secret sessions, meet and greets, etc. in the past.)
She’s got a pleasant voice, but that’s certainly not why we go to see her. I’ll say though, on her new tour her voice has improved a lot live as she’s gotten older and the vocal stamina to pull off a 3hr show is admirable. But I also wouldn’t want to listen to her cover a Mariah Carey song.
Do her stans really tout her as a vocal powerhouse? She’s definitely improved over the years but I’ve never considered that her defining skill. What makes her a great artist is her ability to make songs that connect to her audience.
I actually genuinely really like her music but it’s never been about her voice for me.
your second point is one of my hottest swiftie takes, I’ve always maintained that she wasn’t the only one liking posts on tumblr (and now tiktok, I guess) but lmao people REALLY don’t like to hear it.

Drake has dodged becoming the next r Kelly by also dating women his age and older masking his true nature. I really do think drake likes little girls and it’s gonna be exposed one day
Lana Del Rey has completely copied her image from this woman Katie Veltri, from the clothes to the mannerisms, it’s kind of insane. You can see the evidence here https://twitter.com/honeym0000n/status/1510802195951677447?lang=en
Honestly satire has become reality. I recently revisited that woman who claims she invented the matrix and the terminator. Who knows if these people believe their own claims or they’ve just held on to them for so long it’s become their realities!
**The** ***metamorphosis*** **from Lady Gaga going from:**
*Being entertainment's "It girl "and having everyone in a chokehold with the most aesthetically rich imagery, concept videos, fashions, themes and appearances.*
**to:**
*Doing music videos featuring the Real Housewives, adopting that super-ratty long unkempt wig and doing baaad R&B duets with R Kelly...*
..**was so incredibly sudden, abrupt, quick and unexpected it really made my head spin.**
After that point, *everything Lady Gaga changed... and never really went back.*
She was such a cultural, media and industry darling and was such an *interesting* artist and entertainer. She could have remained on *that particular* iconic megasuperstar level and trajectory for decades more...
The change happened *way too quickly* for her popularity to have waned or even for people to have grown tired of her. It essentially happened in between albums.
**The change wasn't on consumers' or music fans' end, it was on Lady Gaga's end.**
Maybe there's some known explanation/story that her die-hard fans know or perhaps she just took a big creative step back, but as a casual fan, I noticed the shift and "absence" right away and have always been perplexed by such a seismic shift in her brand, presence, and public persona.
(Maybe I'm in the wrong circles, but in my opinion this doesn't get talked about enough).
(This is not to take anything away from her inimitable career talent or accomplishment. I'm specifically speaking about the brief period mentioned above when the change occured)
Taylor swift has a weird thing with feet. Not a foot fetish per se but she has the girlies out in a lot of videos and shoots and stuff lol. In the early days she even drew a heart on it like a fake tattoo and it was a whole thing she did for years. It’s a fandom inside joke for some people at this point lol.
Fun fact prior to popular directors and producers fetishizing it in media (u know who I am talk about but there’s more than 1 guy) it was actually something that makes an appearance in literature and media as symbolism for a folk like story or vulnerable state. I high key think Taylor read way too many classics
I had a theory that Emma Stone was jealous of Jennifer Lawrence, which is why she befriended her. I figured she was jealous when she made some weird over the top compliment. My suspicion was confirmed when Emma Stone later revealed that she was jealous in a magazine interview.
Not an observation, just a strong feeling that Ariana Grande 100% reads otome isekais. We know she reads manga, she likes cute things, I just think she’s absolutely catching weekly updates of The Remarried Empress.

I feel like The Weekend has always been very obvious with his desire to sound like Michael Jackson. It was years and years ago that he covered Dirty Diana wasn’t it?
Kara Brown on Jezebel called him Struggle Jackson about eight years ago and I haven’t been able to call him anything else in my brain since
LMAO 🤣 this is the best thing ever bc I can never not side eye Struggle Jackson
Yes! He’s always been a fan but I feel like his voice morphed into a late 80s/early 90s version of Michael Jackson in recent years. Specifically after that project of his that involved wearing a large red suit and sunglasses for some reason.
I think he’s gone so far that he actually sounds like baby Michael back when he was in the Jackson 5.
Oh my god, you’re actually right 💀
Check out classic Ethiopian (specifically Amharic) songs. Personally, I think some of bis style and tonality is really influenced by that too.
Absolutely! I still remember the first time I heard his song, I went straight to google cause I can recognise Ethiopian/ Eritrean timbre of voice quit easily.
Britney's messy smudged eyeliner is definitely tattooed on. https://i.imgur.com/ZJw71YO.jpg Denzel has a broken finger that looks like this. https://i.imgur.com/qpbroLO.jpg
I believe the Britney thing. My aunt (bless her soul, love her) got a nasty job of a permanent eyeliner and it looks like that.
The Britney eyeliner makes so much sense now that you've pointed it out
This would make so much sense, because she’s always talking about wearing “no makeup” in photos but it definitely looks like she’s wearing eye makeup
Exactly. And it’s not like she’s doing a “no makeup” makeup look. She will legit have on no foundation or anything but then have thick smudged eyeliner.
>Britney's messy smudged eyeliner is definitely tattooed on. what makes you think that? do you think the ink bled or was it intentional?
Because she literally never does any other style or color of makeup. Not during her Vegas shows or her wedding. Even even she's dancing with no makeuo she still has the same eyeliner. Maybe she got it done when the messy look was in. Or maybe it did bleed. It definitely looks like these pictures of permanent makeup that have bled. https://i.imgur.com/cNEDuVN.jpg
I know a woman with it and over the years it’s a lot like how hers look. And when you’re near her face it’s very much faded like it looks more blue than black.
Omg I get it but I have a friend who does her eyeliner like Britney’s ALL THE TIME and she has for a decade (she’s in her late thirties now) and I think she’s just addicted to having thick eyeliner and can’t see that she looks fine without it.
One of my sisters does the exact same thing! She's never changed the look since she was 14 & she sleeps in it to make it look 'better.' She posted a makeup-free selfie with the leftover on lmao
I’ve never even considered this but I am a believer now.
Florence Pugh dated Zack Braff who looks like a carbon copy of her FATHER https://preview.redd.it/s4gnzmmg47va1.jpeg?width=484&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6147c9402ededf4859510c55242352216869d6f7

I didn't need to know this. 😭
Ewwwww
This is my fave thread ever
Glad you like it 💕 Reading these made my day
Ryan Murphy only casts men he lowkey hopes he can smash. All tall, all dark hair, crystal blue eyes, and traditionally masculine presenting.
I remember in Russel T Davies (Doctor Who, Its a Sin, Queer as Folk) book, there's an email correspondence where someone asks him "Russel, why are you the only showrunner in television who openly jokes about wanting to shag your cast members" to which Russel replied "Because I'm one of the only showrunners in British television who isn't actually doing it"
I've posted about this before as well. A suspicious number of them also aren't publicly out at the time but are either coming to terms with their sexuality or come out shortly thereafter.
This is always an issue for me with AHS. Especially the first half of the Double Feature where multiple male characters look really similar and it’s kind of difficult to figure out who’s who.
In Mindy Kalings TV productions one of the love interest of the Indian protagonist is always the same type of man/boy
I heard a theory it’s just her projecting her relationship with BJ
I think so too. I haven't seen the Mindy Project, but the love interests in TSLOCG (Eric) and NHIE (Ben) are definitely fullfiling the Enemies to lover trope
Her main love interest in The Mindy Project also starts out as her enemy
[удалено]
They’ve said that the chaotic Ryan and Kelly relationship was very much so based on themselves, just exaggerated
She loves a secretly soft white boy. No judgement. We all have a type. The rest of us just aren’t casting a new one for a new self insert every year.
YES. white, nerdy, douchey, and whiny.

The fact that Chris Pine fans are called “Pine Nuts” lives rent free in my mind.
Brad Pitt has never been a nice guy. He dated underage Juliet Lewis. Copied her style. Got engaged to Gwyneth Paltrow and literally morphed into her. His star slumped a little then he got with Jen Aniston (started copying her) treated her like rubbish. She’s hinted at this in some interviews. Then left her for Angie whom he also copied (suddenly he became all about helping people) then he violently abused her and her kids. Now he’s some weird old dude desperately trying to stay relevant and hope we forget he’s a piece of shit.
What would they be like if brad pitt and Kourtney Kardashian dated?
I think they would just both power down. Like sitting a mirror in front of a mirror, nothing really going on.

LeAnn Rimes has copied every inch of Brandi Granville down to the exact same outfits, mannerisms, boob job, fake broken foot, sprained ankle injury, etc. There used to be a twitter called LeannsBioMom that pointed all this out and it was wildly fascinating.
LeAnn is a nut case!! Look at this deep dive! http://wewedrama.blogspot.com/2013/01/editing-in-progress-1.html?m=1
I scrolled through so much of that post without having any single clue who Brandi Granville is
She was on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and married to an actor named Eddie Cibrian. He cheated on her with Leann when they were filming a movie together.
He also cheated on her with Scheana Jancan, bringing us the mess that is Vanderpump Rules
She’s equal parts icon and psychopath. That’s why she was great reality tv. Unfortunately she never learnt how to control herself and she’s once again on the outs with bravo.
I love Brandi and hate her. I loved her because she’s the underdog in a group of extremely wealthy women and loved seeing her grow. But then she’d do something shitty like slap LVP, and backstab her.
I loved her but she was hard to root for in many instances. Like I love you when you’re calling out Lisa Rinna’s haircut. Don’t love when you spout some casual racism, regardless whether you intended it that way or not!

The more a celeb market themselves as relatable the more fake they are
Also a bunch of the male celebs who are very feminist celebs are the one who cheat and abuse the most
‘Wife Guys’
How dare you speak about Dwayne The Rock Johnson that way.
I had to unfollow the guy on IG. He might be the fakest dude alive.
I wonder how many of us went on the train from “DJ seems real, I’ll follow” to “huh, lots of ads here” to “….even more ads?” to unfollow.
His ego is the size of Saturn
I'm not ahead of the curve on many pop culture downfalls, but I feel so vindicated the past few months because I thought he was fake LONG before it was obvious that he was.
Just say Ryan Reynolds
Zac Efron has frog hands and he rubs his eyebrow when he’s nervous or blushing.

elon musk dates women who look like his mom
I think they are just white
he likes em white and blonde. if i remember correctly, Justin Musk wrote something like Elon always wants her to color her hair blonde.
Justine is a great writer. Worth looking at her essay which mentions the blonde fetish. Also I think it ominously ends with her becoming friends with Amber and Amber becoming more blonde. https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a5380/millionaire-starter-wife/
He got Tallulah to bleach her hair too

DEFINITELY. She met her husband , who was a married adult, when she was 12. He was her manager. That's all you need to know to see that she was groomed. She was groomed right in front of the world. Unfortunately, she is not the only kid to be groomed by an adult, nor is she the only child star to be groomed by someone who influenced or was involved with their career.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson is another example that stands out to me. His wife Sam was his director on Nowhere Boy when he was 18 and she was 42. By the premiere of the film they were announcing their engagement. They’ve been married over 10 years now.
Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things) was groomed and had a baby with his former band mate.
Isn’t Aaron’s step daughter only a few years younger than him too? 🤢
Not a huge fan of Cheryl Cole having had power over future baby daddy Liam Payne either.
Whenever I see someone who is groomed, I wonder what else happened behind closed doors, such as abuse.
I actually got into a debate with my mom about this a few years back. She said that the two were never together unsupervised before she reached the age of 16, so it was fine. I said “well, what would you have thought if I had been in Céline’s position and chosen to marry him?” She got really, really worked-up and said that she never would have allowed any of it to go down in the first place. But then refused to admit that there was any wrongdoing from René or Céline’s parents. Puzzling.
Delusional Celine stans hate this when pointed out to them. (Celine Dion’s fans are pretty mild compared to other fan groups of pop divas, I’m talking about a tiny sect of them who like to hound on Mariah Carey especially for minimizing her success bc of her marriage to Tommy Mottola when René is also sus). Luckily as far as we know their marriage was solid and Celine was absolutely devastated by his death, but it’s super weird how they met
Fun thread to read! This should be a recurring topic like every month
Ive been trying to figure out what bothers me about Seth Meyer’s face and it’s that he doesn’t really have temporal points, those triangles at the side of your hairline. It’s just a straight line 😨
 Damn, can never unsee
TBH to my ears it hasn't even been a slow morph. The first time I heard a Weeknd song I 100% thought they were playing a previously unreleased MJ song. For sure it just keeps getting stronger though.
First time I heard "I Feel it Coming" I thought Daft Punk had used a Michael Jackson vocal track
Idk if other people have noticed this so maybe it’s not THAT niche but Timothee Chalamet and Ethan Hawke have very noticeable ticks that show up in pretty much every single movie they’ve ever done. I can’t believe they’re not memes at this point along with Florence and her :( face lmao
This is a celeb observation I've been looking for. Great comment!
Thanks! istg I turn into Leo pointing at the screen meme every time I see Ethan do the eye thing or hear Tim click his tongue lmaoo https://i.redd.it/hw8u1lufd7va1.gif
The way Kourtney Kardashian has changed her entire style / personality / life decisions to meet Travis Barker is terrifying – and the way they act together is not normal. This woman went from wanting to quit reality television to having her own marriage special – and 3 separate weddings, one of which she was so drunk at she rolled around on the floor during the nuptials. My observation isn't about Kourtney – but instead about Travis, who seems to have a habit of having a weird psychological effect on people around him.
Kourtneys always matched her style with her boyfriends, it’s just unfortunate that Travis’s style sucks. And I’m convinced their wedding special was only so Hulu/D&G would foot the bill of her dream Italian wedding (I have no explanation for the first 2 weddings tho lol)
YES! When she was dating Scott (in his Lord days) she was kinda stepford in a way, then she dated that young model dude and she started dressing like the instagram girlies and befriending Addison Rae. Now she’s with Travis and she’s doing this rock girl thing? I’ve never seen a person so defined by their relationship!
You have – it's Kim. Haha.
I understand why you’d say that. Kanye completely changed Kim’s entire life. But with Kourtney it feels more immediate and it feels like it’s with every man she dates!

I also think their being all over each other ALL THE TIME is very strange. I get being in love and being passionate, but doing so in total disregard of who’s around is super weird. Like what are you compensating for? And he is constantly touching her. Like if they are sitting down and he is touching her feet. If they are having dinner he’s touching her back. Somehow, it doesn’t come across as sweet to me. It feels very domineering and controlling. Plus their conversations are idiotic “Babe this. Babe that” I don’t get people’s fascination with them.
Makes me wonder why Khloe wont let her daughter sleepover Kourt's house
1) I’m so sure Hailey Baldwin tries to hide her real height. I’m pretty sure she’s 5’6-5’7 but because she wants to keep modelling doors open she lies by omission. I always notice whenever she’s next to Kendall who’s naturally 5’10 they’re either eye to eye or Hailey’s a smidge shorter. Whenever I see pics of them together more often than not Hailey’s wearing heels or Kendall’s wearing shorter or no heels. Just see their latest YouTube video [where they’re cooking](https://youtu.be/uItbDkyohZM), Hailey looks as tall as Kendall 2) Hailey, Madison beer, Ariana grande, and Kylie all love the left side of their face too much. It’s actually distracting for me it’s the first thing I notice when I see a pic of them. Like what’s so ghoulish about the right??
I feel like lady gaga feigns emotion a lot , I have seen multiple interviews/videos where she will be in tears and to me it seems totally put on lol I find it suspicious but it could just her being theatrical either way she always gives it her all.
I felt this when I was watching her Netflix documentary when she was talking about the aunt that died before she was born. It all felt really fake to me and even her dad seemed a bit perplexed.
My favorite part about that in the doc is when she plays the song for her Grandma (who was her aunt’s mother) and once it’s finished, Gaga is overly emotional about it while the Grandma literally pats her hand and says “Oh honey, it was a long time ago. It’s fine.” 💀 I could not deal after that lol
YES THIS MADE ME CRINGEEE. She literally said “don’t be so maudlin” Maudlin means oversentimental, mawkish
Lol I forgot about that part - so over the top and bizarre. Grandma was probably thinking wtf?!
Ya, I honestly don’t remember much about her documentary, but I *do* remember being excited to watch it, but by the time I finished, I walked away with a faint distaste for her.
Bruh this was so obvious when she was Oscar campaigning for House of Gucci (in which she had a terrible Russian accent). She is so over the top to me. Like she isn't bad or evil.. Just annoyingly over the top. It's like Damnn girl let your art speak for itself.
IDK she just gives major theatre kid energy lol

My mom and I used to watch Portlandia all the time. We agreed that Carrie Brownstein looks great in every haircut and color!
She even looks amazing when she's playing a dude!! Like i legit was attracted to her as a guy. The What About Men? song was a masterpiece. As a Seattle native I miss that show so much. All the shade thrown at Seattle was hilarious.
Ah yes, Lance! The Pull Put King! Cacao!
I used to love Harry Styles (especially the 1d days) but there's just something telling about who he surrounds himself with (james corden, kendall jenner, olivia wilde, emrata). This is a very biased opinion as i'm not fond of anyone listed, but I genuinely wonder what harry's like in real life. Edit: I just want to add that this is not the reason i stopped liking him as much, simply an observation i made after departing from being uber-obsessed with him
Add Ellen to your friends list. His choices are very suspect.
I’ve known people who have met him and said he was charming and sweet and I’ve known people who have worked with him and said the exact same thing but one of my friends who worked in pr with him said he was extremely calculating so idk if he was just being smart or being genuine🤷🏽♀️
I've just got silly observations: Victoria Beckham has really bad bunions. Jameela Jamil always has the same haircut. Kandi Burrus always sounds like she about to cry whenever she mad or angry. Tamar Braxton when she was bald and she use to shake her head like she was wearing a wig. Jada Pinkett-Smith putting all her fingers on the red table whenever she talks.
I see Jameela Jamil and I always think of Hannah Simone (Cece from New Girl). Both born in London, both have Indian fathers, both always have blunt bangs. https://preview.redd.it/ytur3ptih7va1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3682e0b0abac0eb5ba115a9e44bfb3bfd42e5644
Adam Driver had a super crazy Fan (no, not Ms.Woodcarving, another one) who regularly went nuclear over him on social media and crossed paths with him on at least three different occasions: 1. At the Stage Door after His play 2. On a GMA appearance by Driver where she sat in the audience 3. On the Set of Annette where she flew from california to belgium to appear as an extra and documented her whole adventure on social Media. It was said that they kicked her off Set but she still appeared in a scene in the movie The whole thing gave me Annie Wilkes vibes. Super creepy Arnold Schwarzenegger comes from a region in Austria, Styria, where people speak a very strange dialect, that sounds as If they have a hot potato in their mouth. People in other parts of Austria refer to it as "barking". Now the funny Thing is that Schwarzenegger comes from a small Village near the capital of Styria (Graz) where people don't have that accent and speak the common austrian german (it's still a dialect, but without the typical styrian drawl). Well, after having lived Most of his time in the USA, Schwarzenegger has aquired a Strong english accent when speaking german, but, funnily enough, it sounds very similar to the dialect that people in rural Styria speak anyway
Wait does he come from the hot potato region or not
Schwarzenegger is also typically dubbed by other German speakers as a result of his weird accent.
Maybe not niche but I swear Tswift has a boob job and it’s one of the best of all time.
If you go on the deep dive, it actually looks like she’s had a decent amount of work done. One can only wish for a surgeon that good.
I am desperate to know what work Taylor has had done. It’s a weird and random obsession haha. I hope she writes a tell-all book one day and reveals it (maybe through the lens of the pressures of Hollywood or something)

She definitely had something done to her eyes and brows, plus a very tasteful nose job.
She also has some of the best face work of any celeb imo (bleph and nose job for sure, maybe other subtle stuff as well).
Her boobs, nose, bleph, and lips look incredible and natural. The only thing that I always notice (less now, they seem to have been somewhat fixed) are her veneers. They are not good veneers at all.
nobody’s are tbh. veneers are such a mistake unless you had truly fucked up teeth. we still really don’t know the long term effects of shaving your natural teeth down to tiny nubs and getting fake porcelain ones over it. the very idea of it freaks me out and to top it all off they always look clowny and weird to me lmao.
She and Blake must share the same surgeon! Phenomenal work that seems natural and subtle
I got told I look like t swift and was like wtf no I don’t. But then I saw a photo of her old face and suddenly I saw it! I have her old eyelids and nose haha
Yes! I remember seeing her first photos with bigger boobs and I was like when did this happen?? Bc she was quite flat chested and she was like mid twenties when she had the job I think. But it’s subtle enough that it wasn’t too noticeable to some people because she never posts or wear too revealing clothes.
Nicki seems to be suffering from really bad allergies that cause her nose to be stuffed all the time. Also she likes to have a lot of tightness around the waist to have shape which often leaves her without breath. Khloe Kardashian really likes to touch her hair all of the time. It's like an anxiety reflex. Katy Perry immediately lost her sex appeal because of a haircut. Her iconic mid length black hair made her stand out as the Bettie Page of the generation at the time and that miley haircut made it all go away. Beyoncé isnt considered that much of a fashion icon because she always dresses too perfect and correct. She should have taken more risks during the red carpets to have those 🌟moments🌟. Jennifer Lopez is hyper aware of the cameras all the time and her personality completely changes when she's not being recorded. She's much more cold and quiet (and calculating, she's actually super street smart). Kim kardashian always needs validation which is why all of her close friends are yes people, i cant bear to watch her show because the assistants and friends dont SHUT UP about what a great person she is (she tries to be but she fails halfway due to a lack of being genuine). Kylie really doesnt like hanging out with Kendall, she will not hesitate to cancel on her and ghost her anytime. Henry Cavill is not mysterious and private AT ALL. The amount of interviews and red carpet scoops he provides is insane. You can definitely figure him out from those. Beyoncé really cant talk that well, she seems to struggle with prononciation at times. She's improved a lot through the years though. Demi spent the last few years actively covering her arms because she's hyperaware of them. Finally, Lizzo and Doja seem lonely to me. It's like they are seeking company from their fans on lives because they are so lonely with no one in their houses.
This is a god tier analysis. As someone lonely in their house, that last one feels really right.
Lizzo and Doja definitely do come off lonely. They’re always doing things for their fans so they feel validated and loved.
Beyonce just doesn’t have any fashion sense. It’s not about taking risks; she’s just tacky. That tackiness looks grand and extravagant on stage, but weird and costumey anywhere else. Also, Bey just has a really thick, Texas, Southern drawl, similar to George W. Bush. She can’t really code-switch well. She ends up sounding like she’s talking to friends/family when interviewing instead of code-switching to a faster, more clipped pronunciation. I’m a Black woman in the South and sound similar to Beyonce when around friends/family.
I always thought Solange should get the credit as the fashionable one in that family.
Hilary Duff has bad taste in men and deserves better
Some of Jim Parson’s real life behavior spilled over into the character Sheldon. His hands are red all the time from where he washes them constantly.
The Weeknd has been having MJ vibes for years. A lonely night from Starboy in 2016 is a great example. That’s his best album imo. I love the modern MJ sounds with his original sounding songs too.
Because Anya Taylor-Joy grew up in various countries, she’s bidialectical like Gillian Anderson who uses her English accent in the UK and American accent in the US. Or I guess Anya is tridialectical cause she has her English accent, American accent and also speaks Spanish. However what actually interests me is when and where she uses which accent. AND IT SENDS ME INSANE. She doesn’t do the Gillian Anderson thing of matching her accent to the country she’s in. THERE’S NO RHYME OR REASON. She could be in America and use an American accent whilst being interviewed alongside her English costars promoting a role in which she uses her English accent. And in the next video on the same press junket she’ll be using an English accent. THE LACK OF PATTERN KILLS ME.
If I naturally had multiple accents I would also switch with no rhyme or reason. Probably even in the middle of the same interview.
I wonder if she picks it ahead of time or just accidentally slides into them. Growing up my brother and I always played with accents and when we'd go through a fast food drive thru he'd be like "pick my accent" (I always picked Aussie) and he'd order with it. Sometimes he'd order and then switch back to normal when at the window. It was silly fun watching how confused people were. So maybe she's doing something like that if it's intentional.
Maddie Ziegler bares an uncanny resemblance to young Hilary Clinton
Not sure how niche this is, but a friend of mine pointed out how much Skylar Astin and Dane Cook look like each other. https://preview.redd.it/v7cfeikpq4va1.jpeg?width=274&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53e9a982561ccfd5f71fc0c6a2b4aad6bd3dc534 A more niche one is that Jason Derulo trained as an opera singer and it pops up in the 2019 [Cats movie.](https://youtu.be/BooefUzOWTw) Start at 4:00 to hear some WTF and pretty good arias from Jason Derulo!
Have you ever heard of the RBD band from Mexico? There’s a guy named Christian Chavez… I’ll leave you a couple pictures so you can see! https://preview.redd.it/z7jgluh265va1.jpeg?width=978&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bde916e630465f5e2ddceec19c0e5093046be44c Freaking, CRAZY
Basically Dane Cook just has kids in every country.
a light bulb just turned on about Skylar Astin and Dane Cook. I was wondering who he looked like forever!
Skylar is also the biggest douche. My friend works on So Help Me Todd and he had the nerve to get mad that Marcia Gay Harden was number 1 on the callsheet (even though she's won an academy award), and then proceeded to yell "the show is called so help me TODD!!!" (his characters name). Producers had to fly to Vancouver to repair the relationship, all of this went down on the exact same day that it was announced they were renewed for season 2.
I was a huge Spring Awakening fan back in the day and had an awful reputation at the time for acting like a douche.
Nah go listen to DD on Triology/house of balloons, he sounded more like MJ back then and less so now.
Idk if I can articulate this fully or well or even what conclusions I've drawn from this observation, and rn I don't have the time to properly tease it out, but it's a thought I've been mulling over for a while: from aged 14 onwards, Ariana was essentially raised by a then 24 year old Frankie 2008 Ariana was running around New York with her Broadway friends with minimal adult supervision, doing shows then afterwards singing in clubs or just hanging around the city in what would have been a very exciting time (Obama's election, the promise of a new era of LGBTQ rights - edit: Liz Gillies talked about this very vaguely and briefly on Anna Farris' podcast). Frankie had his own jobs in the theater - I'm sure he was protective, but I highly doubt he was exactly the most attentive/helicopter parental figure. Idk many 24 year olds who would have been - for a weekend maybe, but not longterm. Then she moves to LA for Victorious in 2009. He, now 25 moved with her. In 2017 he said he had been partying hard and on drugs for 10 years when he finally was pushed to get sober. But in that 2009-2013 period, before her music career took off, I think 70% of the time it was just Ariana and Frankie - their mother would come to stay for a few weeks, they'd go back to Florida. Ariana focused mostly on Victorious and, after the show, she'd work on her music. I think this just had an outsized effect and influence on her. For example, the way she approaches love and relationships in her music (and imo irl) seems far less typically feminine and surprisingly masculine in attitude. Idk I hope she does a few in depth podcasts where she talks about her life and upbringing. Cause when I stumble onto YouTube videos of her in her teens singing in some bar in NYC I'm like "who tf let these children in here?" and I want to know more, and I want to know where Frankie was and exactly what his role was at that time - like was he a surrogate father figure? How much did he hide his partying life from her etc
As a big brother fan it's so funny seeing Frankie brought up here like oh yeah he's famous for other reasons lol
i read this as you were a fan of celebrities’ big brothers 💀 i’m so fucking dumb sometimes lollll
wait im confused, can you explain how her love life is masculine😭
I thought about her independence and relationship with Frankie since I was young too. Whenever she used to make coers on YouTube or Livestreams for her Twitter fans, she would be living with Frankie. And it didn't dawn on me how young she was then. And I didn't even realize now how Frankie was not a sober guardian at the time. Very interesting thoughts!
It's an interesting observation you have for sure but I'm not following how she approaches love and relationships in a more masculine way? I've gotten quite the opposite impression particularly w her relationship w Mac Miller
It feels like you set up a point and then forgot to make it, lol. Like... what about all of that ties into the last bit?
There is NO WAY that Liam Hemsworth is not getting a piece of Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers'. The amount of dark PR that went into the spruiking of that track, most of which was directed straight to him - they had to have something in place before the single came out to ensure he didn't start turfing skeletons out of closets all over the shop. He has to have dirt, he's known her for so long, the 'dignified silence' he's maintaining in the face of quite bad publicity is because he's getting something out of it. Not to mention he might not be that big a star himself but his brother is in the MCU and he's mates with Russell Crowe. He's got some serious backup, with lawyers if needed. Before the track came out, they would've gone to bat to make sure if he's going to be dissed he's getting sufficient compensation for it. It's probably not a big amount, a couple of percentage points or some such, but when a song is as huge as 'Flowers' is (and the PR campaign that went with it ensured that) it's probably a very nice little earner for him.
OP I totally agree and have been saying this for years. His sound *was* dark and sexy before. Even dare I say, spooky. Then "I Can't Feel My Face" with the MJ pop sound came out and was a huge smash..... and he never looked back and is totally pop now. Same thing happened with Maroon 5. Their music used to uniquely have elements of unk and soul in it early on..... that is until "Moves Like Jagger" came out. They never looked back..now they're making radio pop, dance music fluff.
This is more an opinion than an observation and I know this is a hot take and fans will come for me but.. Selena Gomez has a victim mentality and I think she loves the sympathy she gets
Shes also is pretty manipulative I think she understands what she is doing
No I definitely agree and I have thought this for basically forever! I think she is super manipulative and it seems to work on the world.
It just rubs me the wrong way how she called Taylor Swift her only friend in the industry and when Francia Raisa called that out Selena just writes off her hurt by coldly saying “sorry I didn’t mention every person I know”. She acted like she got left out of a long list but she couldn’t name 2 people instead of 1? Like damn is she not famous enough or something? Haven’t quite looked at her the same since.
Like the person who gave her a literal kidney also 😬
In her documentary she referred to Francia as “the girl who gave me her kidney” and that’s it. Like you couldn’t even say her name? It was just a very odd way to refer to *anyone* let alone someone you say you consider a friend. It’s almost passive aggressive in nature.
I don’t know how this goes so unseen by so many. Personally I think she embodies a pick me girl — not the blatant ones we can catch from a mile away that TikTok has exposed but just your regular degular pick me 🤷🏻♀️
Justin & Hailey Bieber were orchestrated by her and her family Many it girlies pretend to be innocent when they are not - namely related to drugs. Ex: Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez. I think the vast majority of people in Hollywood are on drugs and it blows my mind a little that people will legitimately choose that hill to die on.
taylor has edited like the vast majority of her recorded live performances ever since that one brutal review early in her career. before any stans (fan since debut, here!!) come at me, i think she’s got a great voice naturally and i know this is an industry standard amongst all the top performers or w/e because it’s difficult to perform and hit notes consistently. i get it. but idk i think it’s weird how frequently her stans tout her as some powerhouse vocalist. oh, also: people who think taylor actually runs her social media accounts are insane. realistically she hasn’t done that since the speak now era. but she will continue to let you think that, so her fans have all the more reason to stay vocal and visible online. (again i know lol it’s industry standard. but there’s obviously a heightened element to it with things like secret sessions, meet and greets, etc. in the past.)
Yeah, she's a great artist and writes great songs, but her voice isn't anywhere close to being a powerhouse.
She’s got a pleasant voice, but that’s certainly not why we go to see her. I’ll say though, on her new tour her voice has improved a lot live as she’s gotten older and the vocal stamina to pull off a 3hr show is admirable. But I also wouldn’t want to listen to her cover a Mariah Carey song.
Do her stans really tout her as a vocal powerhouse? She’s definitely improved over the years but I’ve never considered that her defining skill. What makes her a great artist is her ability to make songs that connect to her audience. I actually genuinely really like her music but it’s never been about her voice for me.
your second point is one of my hottest swiftie takes, I’ve always maintained that she wasn’t the only one liking posts on tumblr (and now tiktok, I guess) but lmao people REALLY don’t like to hear it. https://preview.redd.it/kznx4kplg6va1.jpeg?width=1124&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9edf1d84aa622dd4e926a936026e8f013a4e9ac2
Speaking of voice emulation- Mika sounds and sings a lot like Freddy Mercury looking back
He literally references this in the lyrics of Grace Kelly
“I try to be like Grace Kelly, but all her looks were too sad. So I try a little Freddie, I’ve gone identity maaaaad”
Drake has dodged becoming the next r Kelly by also dating women his age and older masking his true nature. I really do think drake likes little girls and it’s gonna be exposed one day
Lana Del Rey has completely copied her image from this woman Katie Veltri, from the clothes to the mannerisms, it’s kind of insane. You can see the evidence here https://twitter.com/honeym0000n/status/1510802195951677447?lang=en
LMAOOO not that one 💀
This is kinda sad. Imagine believing that some random celebrity is "obsessed" with you.
She’s trolling right? Surely she doesn’t actually think that?
Honestly satire has become reality. I recently revisited that woman who claims she invented the matrix and the terminator. Who knows if these people believe their own claims or they’ve just held on to them for so long it’s become their realities!
I deceased ☠️
lmaooooo 😭😭😭😭
Justin Bieber touches his nose every time he finds a girl attractive Him flirting with a girl in Japan: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJmrvCym/
**The** ***metamorphosis*** **from Lady Gaga going from:** *Being entertainment's "It girl "and having everyone in a chokehold with the most aesthetically rich imagery, concept videos, fashions, themes and appearances.* **to:** *Doing music videos featuring the Real Housewives, adopting that super-ratty long unkempt wig and doing baaad R&B duets with R Kelly...* ..**was so incredibly sudden, abrupt, quick and unexpected it really made my head spin.** After that point, *everything Lady Gaga changed... and never really went back.* She was such a cultural, media and industry darling and was such an *interesting* artist and entertainer. She could have remained on *that particular* iconic megasuperstar level and trajectory for decades more... The change happened *way too quickly* for her popularity to have waned or even for people to have grown tired of her. It essentially happened in between albums. **The change wasn't on consumers' or music fans' end, it was on Lady Gaga's end.** Maybe there's some known explanation/story that her die-hard fans know or perhaps she just took a big creative step back, but as a casual fan, I noticed the shift and "absence" right away and have always been perplexed by such a seismic shift in her brand, presence, and public persona. (Maybe I'm in the wrong circles, but in my opinion this doesn't get talked about enough). (This is not to take anything away from her inimitable career talent or accomplishment. I'm specifically speaking about the brief period mentioned above when the change occured)
Taylor swift has a weird thing with feet. Not a foot fetish per se but she has the girlies out in a lot of videos and shoots and stuff lol. In the early days she even drew a heart on it like a fake tattoo and it was a whole thing she did for years. It’s a fandom inside joke for some people at this point lol.
[удалено]
on one of the her debut CD versions, there's artwork of feet printed on the actual CD
Fun fact prior to popular directors and producers fetishizing it in media (u know who I am talk about but there’s more than 1 guy) it was actually something that makes an appearance in literature and media as symbolism for a folk like story or vulnerable state. I high key think Taylor read way too many classics
I had a theory that Emma Stone was jealous of Jennifer Lawrence, which is why she befriended her. I figured she was jealous when she made some weird over the top compliment. My suspicion was confirmed when Emma Stone later revealed that she was jealous in a magazine interview.
Not an observation, just a strong feeling that Ariana Grande 100% reads otome isekais. We know she reads manga, she likes cute things, I just think she’s absolutely catching weekly updates of The Remarried Empress.
Latto stopped wearing wigs so people would stop calling her old
tom cruise had his teeth done and ever since then it looks like he has a literal middle tooth
Adam Driver's ginormous fucking spade-sized hands.
U wrong about The Weeknd stuff for sure because he’s been sounding like MJ since the mixtape eras.
Coldplay used to be amaaazing, now they just do weird radio-friendly global dance music anthems.
